App/URL tracking is ONLY supported in OSX 10.7 or later.
The Chrome and the Linux apps cannot show a breakdown of activity for keyboard and mouse. The numbers will always match. This is a limitation of the information provided by the OS.
The Wayland desktop manager in Linux does not support accurate activity tracking due to the limitations of the operating system. The only activity available for tracking is activity directly related to X Windows programs connecting to Wayland via XWayland. For more information about screen capture on Wayland, click here.
